if you guys have a place in mind post so...just keep in mind that whom evers area produces the largest number of cars is where the group will have to go. in the past we've always had luck keeping it centrally located since we have people from all over the state as well as canada. usually out on woodward and 696 area so that people have a well known place to hangout, eat and cruise.

i'm open for suggestions and thoughts though....

Count me in I`m thinking, We should get or hands on a place where we can get a lot of cars together at once and have a place to eat,cruise, talk, look at fellow members cars, and not get harassed by the law for "hanging out"

we've always used woodward in the past without any problems however as i said i'm open to suggestions. just take into consideration where the majority of people will be coming from and try to make it as centrally located as possible.

as i had said before woodward is nice obviously for it's night time cruising as well as it's larger parks for gathering and the many restaurants for eating.

in my particular instance i was talking about the north gratiot cruise which is put on by my club motor city street rodders. were working in conjunction with usma and the other club that puts on the south gratiot cruise to connect all three gratiot cruises.

i'd say call up one of the clubs that helps put on the south gratiot cruise to help you with your spot but they typically don't work that way. just hit up the manager and promise nice cars for their business and you should be good! if you need some help in anyway let me know. the unfortunate thing is you had better get ahold of them quick before someone else does and even if you get guaranteed your spot you had better work out some sort of agreement to keep it. you will have issues down to the last day with other people and companies either parking without permission or trying to buy out your spot last minute.

as far as a mailing list....i use to do that. our last gathering we had over 60 cars that were suppose to attend and roughly 20+ showed. i leave it all here on the site that way the people who are truly interested will know rather then having to take time to track everyone down.

Im down for anything. I live in Canton Michigan. Maybe sometime we can all cruise out to a Hooters or something sometime in the summer time. I go to school in Ohio (University of Northwestrn Ohio) Monday-Thursday.

The EMCC (Eastern Michigan Camaro Club) rents Milan Dragway out once a month. It's basically a bunch of different camaros, firebird and some mustangs going at it. And it's continuous . . . you can make a run and go back to the lanes a go again for 3 hours all for about $30. Prices depend on how many people show up. Today 4-8-04 is the first day were doing it this year. If anyone reads it in time, just show up at 6:00 PM.

Maybe we could all set up some sort of e-mail notification or AIM notification of people in Michigan to get together and have a cruise.

Sean

The Tuner show will be at 56712 Mound Rd.( If you need directions, I suggest MapQuest, its the best), It is in Shelby Twp. MI, and it is Saturday April 24. Registration is from 10am-12pm, and the show is 12pm-8pm. For complete info, the phone number is (586)922-2277. I would love to see you guys there(I especially wanna see Kandies car first hand!) and go put the ricers in their place!

what place is it....kart 2 kart usually pulls those shows as i use to cover them when i worked for S3 magazine.

i wouldn't mind checking it out if i can do a drive through or depending on where it's at park in relation but 10-8 on a saturday is too long for me. since i don't get up til noon on weekends.

Umm, its at a place called the Shelby-Mound Commons(If you can't find it, I reccomend MapQuest). I wouldn't mind going either, but I got an emergency call to work, so I'll have to skip it. Anyone going to Camar SuperFest?
